The Hong Kong Palace Museum was officially opened to the public on July 3. The special exhibition "Treasures of the Country - Paintings and Calligraphy of Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties in the Palace Museum" has been widely welcomed by the public.
From September 7th to October 7th, the museum will display a total of 10 national treasure-level ancient calligraphy and painting masterpieces in the third phase.
After October 7, the batch of treasures will return to the Palace Museum, where they will be dormant in the warehouse for at least three years, during which they cannot be exhibited.
The third phase of exhibits includes the "Qiantang Tide Viewing Map" painted by Li Song, an old painter of the three dynasties of the Southern Song Dynasty.
"Qiantang Tide Watching" is one of the earliest existing pictures showing the high tide of Qiantang River.
Song and Yuan calligraphy and painting are very precious, especially the paintings describing the Qiantang tide in Song and Yuan calligraphy and painting, which are rare, and only a few of them have been passed down today, which shows the preciousness of this cultural relic.
It is worth mentioning that this cultural relic also has deep roots in Hong Kong, telling a touching story between Hong Kong and the Palace Museum.
This painting was repurchased in Hong Kong in the 1950s by the "Hong Kong Secret Acquisition of Cultural Relics Group" responsible for the rescue of the country's precious cultural relics, and was later collected by the Palace Museum.
